the bigots in california

[McGiver]

passed a constitutional amendment stating that the state will only recognize marriages between a man and a woman.

i cannot believe that california is this bigoted against people who are different from themselves.

during the same election, californians voted to give animals which are raised for food a little more elbow room.  i don't understand why we care about an animals rights more than a persons rights.

Gays should be allowed to stuff up their marriages as much as those of us that aren't gay.
I am not gay. I don't understand how men can be appealing. But I do know love and commitment.
If a gay man or woman wants to marry someone who wants to marry them, I see no reason why it ought not be so.

In Connecticut the courts just okayed gay marriage.  I really don't know why all these people have a stick up their ass about it.  If your not gay it doesn't really affect you at all who cares if they can get married.  Let them get just as fucked up as a regular couple

Well all the state really has to do is call them Civil Partnerships instead I gather - same as what goes on over here. The sole purpose of marriage as I gather (though this is decreasing in our degenerating society) is to provide a stable environment to raise children, something which most gay relationships are not geared towards.

As for bring up kids I think they might even be better geared toward it.  For one the hoops you have to jump through for adoption verses just not using birth control and squeezing out a kid.

don't be naive - it's about tax and inheritance.

The CA Supreme Court will probably shrug and say their ruling supersedes a ballot initiative. So the Mormons et.al. will have to start from square 1. This time, we'll be ready for them.

BTW, why would Mormons want to define marriage as 1 man and 1 woman? Wouldn't that take the fun out of it for them?

would you think the same if you worked for a company who had to raise your health insurance because suddenly all sorts of people decided to marry their friend on paper to get their friend and their friends kids covered under the company health care plan ? or how about if they said they could no longer afford to offer health insurance to their employee's after hundreds of new people where added to their plan because everyone saw a oppertunity to scam the system by pretending to be married to their friend with kids ?

how about if your taxes went up after hundreds of people jumped on the towns health care plan by marrying their friend that works for the town just for the free coverage for themselves & their kids ?

See? That's a conservative viewpoint, in my view.

Thank you.

... and healthcare, as Johnny points out.

What's to stop them now if it's a man and a a woman?  I think there should be some basic insurance normal people can afford

[Natalia Evans]

It pisses me off when people butt their business in other peoples businesses. So what if two females want to get married or two males, they aren't hurting anyone if they are married, it's their life so leave them be.


When I first heard of it, I thought it was very weird because I had never heard of two women getting married or two men. Then my mother told me my uncles are married and I was like "weird." Then I got used to it and no longer found it weird. Oh why can't others learn the same? 


Took me years to finally accept I get attracted to pretty women and stopped blocking it out of my head. It was the speech my mother gave me, "Beth you shouldn't let other people's thoughts control your life." So I came out of the closet eventually and I felt like screaming up and down the streets "I'm a lesbian" and jumping in the air. Then I realized, No I'm bisexual. Now I realize I'm bi curious. I have not had sex with a woman yet. I have always found women cuter than men. As a kid, I was more attracted to girls than boys. But then I have read its normal for kids to get attracted to their own gender as they are growing up.

And how many actually do bring up kids. As for the latter I know all about it, and plenty of people in a straight marriage do it in fact. Adoption agencies are reluctant to give kids to gay couples, which I am inclined to agree with in the current climate.

Asking me about how many female friends I have funny I am very much a loner in the true sense of the word how I found my wife I have no idea.  I know females that would do it for their kids though
